Haley Bennett is having quite the busy Fall, appearing in no less than three big-ticket films. First she was seen in Antoine Fuqua’s The Magnificent Seven, next she is about to make an impression in Tate Taylor’s psychological thriller The Girl on the Train and soon after she will appear in Warren Beatty’s Howard Hughes-inspired Hollywood fable Rules Don’t Apply. Not bad for a 28 year-old from small town Ohio, although as she herself is quick to note, she is hardly a novice, having worked in the movie business for ten years, since her role in 2008’s Music and Lyrics. Her recent credits have led some in the press to pronounce her the next Hollywood phenom, although she recently begged us not to “go there”: “Don’t do that to me. Don’t coin me. That is a dangerous place to put yourself. Cause then there’s expectation.” When she spoke to the HFPA’s Lynn Tso about The Girl on the Train, she revealed herself to be passionate about her craft, a consummate cinephile and a young woman with her feet planted firmly on the ground.
